Technical Program Manager who scales API platforms and delivers cross-team outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Technical Program Manager specializing in API platforms and cross-organizational delivery, with 6+ years orchestrating complex, multi-team programs where no single owner exists. I connect isolated workstreams into one roadmap, surface dependencies before they block, and create decision clarity in ambiguous environments. I’m hands-on across API gateways (Apigee), distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure (GCP, Kafka, PostgreSQL).
At Abacus Cambridge Partners, I own end-to-end delivery of API platform and cloud-scaling programs spanning API, infrastructure, networking, and data teams. I run 5+ large programs simultaneously across distributed teams of 30+ engineers and architects, establishing decision-ownership clarity that cut cross-team escalations by 35% and lifted on-time delivery to 95%. I act as the connective tissue across organizations that otherwise operate in isolated workstreams.
Some of my most impactful delivery work includes a secure-by-design National API Gateway for the Government of Kuwait, connecting 70+ public sector entities into one platform. I partnered with Google PSO on GCP architecture and multi-layered security (network, API access, content inspection, observability), improving inter-agency integration efficiency by 40%. I also led API migration at scale for MAF, sequencing migration of 1,400+ API proxies from Apigee Edge to Apigee X across 6 partner organizations, achieving zero-downtime cutover and 40% faster deployment cycles through cross-org dependency management, Terraform provisioning, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.
In high-volume environments, I’ve balanced performance, reliability, and cost to scale production systems—such as replacing a legacy payment gateway with an Active-Active microservices architecture (Kafka, PostgreSQL, F5, Prometheus, Grafana) engineered for 3x transaction growth and resolving scalability bottlenecks while holding 99.99% uptime under peak load. I’ve also delivered a GCP-based AI platform serving 100K+ users with Gemini, Vertex AI, and Dialogflow CX using Retrieval-Augmented Generation, automating 60% of support queries. Previously with the Government of Pakistan, I managed 7 cross-functional teams (70+ engineers, analysts, technicians), owned full program lifecycles end to end, and delivered 5+ programs valued at PKR 30M+ on time within strict compliance and security constraints.
